Your Weight Loss Plan

Are you ready to lose weight? You’ll boost your chances for success by making a realistic, achievable plan. Remember to pick a few realistic goals – maybe start with one change in your diet and one physical activity change.

Remember to take it one step at a time, and to stay patient. Permanent weight loss won’t happen over night! Make your plan as specific as possible. Use the outline below as a guide.

Where am I now?

Example: I am 40 pounds over my desired weight.

Here’s what I’ll do to start working toward weight loss:

Example:

I’ll take a 30-minute brisk walk 5 days a week at lunchtime.

I’ll switch to diet soda and water instead of drinking regular soda and sweet tea.

Here’s when I’ll do it:

Example:

During the week, I’ll walk for 30 minutes during my lunch hour.

Every meal – and between.

Here’s what I need to get ready:

Example:

I’ll need comfortable walking shoes.

I’ll need to buy diet sodas.

This might get in the way of my plan:

Example:

If it’s raining, I won’t be able to walk outside.

I might run out of diet soda.

If that happens, I’ll do this instead:

Example:

I’ll go to the recreation center and walk around inside.

I’ll plan ahead to make sure that I don’t run out or I can drink water instead.
